IMAGINE YOURSELF HERE...

  If spending hours snorkelling marvelling at the marine life at high tide, walking along the beach looking for eels and octopuses at low tide, enjoying the bird and insect life... read more and generally chilling out in the peace and tranquility of a place with lush jungle slopes as a backdrop and beautiful ocean views in front of you - this is the place for you! Add to that mix the wonderful food - both Fijian and European - and relaxed conversations with the lovely owners and staff, and the the result is an unforgettable escape. Owners Sam and Christine have created a wonderful retreat for nature lovers with a Marine Protected Area a few steps away where you can snorkel off the beach with ease. Despite the warm water, we decided to pack our spring suits for snorkelling and did not regret it as we were then able to snorkel for 2 hours at a time for maximum enjoyment. We were very glad to take the Lawaki boat transfer with Sam, especially as one of the crossings was somewhat rough and the small local boats were quite full and not covered. Sam and Christine are generous hosts who are happy to share their considerable knowledge and life experiences. It was a privilege to be present at Sam's birthday celebration and share the delicious food from the traditional lovo, and to hear the beautiful voices singing a Fijian hymn. Big thanks to Mela, Buna, Miri, Saeni and Senekau for taking care of us and especially to Alumeci and Serema for the delicious food that they prepared for us. Serema also kindly shared her knowledge of Fijian culture and traditions and also gives great massages.

We've seen our first nudibranches ever here.
The food is out of this world and a perfect Fijian-Swiss fusion.
The hosts, Sam and Christine, and their staff make everyone feel welcome and well looked after.
Christine and Sam also have a lot of knowledge about Fijian history, way of life and the natural environment, and we found it really enlightening talking with them and listening to their stories.
A real gem of a place. We are so happy that we found it! More
